NORTH EAST JUNIOR GOLF TOUR

NEJGT is a series of junior golf tournaments held over 15 different golf courses between Pittsburgh and Altoona, PA during June, July and August of 2008. All events are held on weekdays in the morning. There is also a 2-day Tour Championship in August. Anyone who has played in at least 3 of our regular events is qualified to play in the Tour Championship. (This is different than in other years).

History
2008 will be our 10th year having played 165 tournaments with a total of over 2,800 members. At the PIAA West Regional at Tom’s Run on 10/15/07, 7 of the top 11 boys and 7 of the top 11 girls played on our Tour including both top finishers.
In October 2007, Hollidaysburg High School won the Pennsylvania State Team Championship. Every member of that team played on our Tour.

Again in 2008
Because of the difficulty in getting the best players for our Tour Championship we have changed the qualification completely. The change was made mainly because of high school golf which we want all kids to play. This year instead of a point system all members are qualified to play if they play at least 3 of our regular events.
